I’m a fan. of how running affects me. My body feels great, my mind feels great, my emotions feel stable (most of the time).
I did indeed run 4 miles on Thursday and 8 on Saturday… on the beach I might add. Alissa and I got up early (not before the sun though) and ran 8 miles on the beach. Such a flat run. It.Was.Great. When I finished my run I took an “ice bath” and by ice I mean ocean water, and bath I mean, still wearing my running clothes. Vay-cay-shun!!! Woot. I love running on vacations. I have no agendas on my time or location.
I played in the waves for what felt like hours that day, which probably counts as additional cross-training time.
I took Sunday off but this became necessary because a shell decided to crawl up into my toe and bite me. I had to hoble around a bit on Sunday and today because of this. So, technically I took today off as well. BUT I did try a new-to-me class at the Y called Flexible Strength. Love. Core, Stability, Flexibility and Stretching= four components my body has been crying for.
The plan for this week includes:
Tues- running
Wed- Yasso 800s (I was supposed to do 4 last week and only did 3, I think I’ll aim at 4 this week)
Thurs- running
Fri- resting
Sat- running
(Oh, you wanted specifics?) You’ll just have to read the next blog for more 🙂
